temperatures mild but warmer tomorrow. and as we've been talking about, the extended forecast, some heat in the five day. we are looking at temperatures into the mid-900s by the weekend. maybe even a little warmer than that. tomorrow the warmup starts. we will see more 80s. didn't see any 80s really for the most part. tomorrow 70s, 80s and then continuing from there we will see upper 80s and low 90s as we head into friday and saturday. the reason is this high pressure center. the winds go offshore. this is classic fall weather. the weather curve or the temperature chart you can see the temperatures will start to increase tomorrow and go right through the bay area weekend. it will be down right hot most likely on saturday and sunday. with this type of temperature change this time of year, fire danger is the first thing we think of. so we will see an increased fire danger. air quality will take a little bit of a hit as well. it will be nice but get a little dicey around here with the air and the fire danger. forecast tomorrow for san francisco, san jose and cochrane. the computer model throws out

some numbers. a good eight degrees warmer than it was today. the micro climates at the beaches mid-60s. san francisco low 70s. berkeley mid-70s. over the hill out towards crockett will he 80s to mid 80s. move to the bay area micro climates warmer. noticeably warmer tomorrow. noticeably warmer again on friday and saturday. just going to become like i showed you on that curve a little warmer each day. no fog at the coast. just a really fall-like weather pattern. today was the last day of summer. it's over. now the days are basically getting shorter. we are looking for temperatures to begin to cool after this heat wave. mid 60s at noon in observing e mid-70s in oakland around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. the forecast for cities where you live. 78 in san raphael. 83 in fairfield. 83 in danville and livermore. those are the hot spots. and in saratoga 82. along the coast warmer than it

. >> mark is off tonight. joe is here for sports. boy, it is going down to the wire with the giants. and, unfortunately, not a good result tonight. >> yes, you can't think that it is going to do anything else. the thing about a half game lead is it doesn't take much to cause a flip flop in first place. now the padres in first in the

n-l west. the giants are struggling. and randy wells at the first inning with runners at the corners and just one out. jonathan sanchez gave up just four hits but one was a homerun. the cubs doubled the lead with one more run in the fifth. even when the giants got something going, the cubs took it away. aubrey huff hits one hard but grabbed by natie and turned into an inning double play. more of the same in the seven as castro knocks down a smash that starts another play. six hits and no runs for the giants who fall 2-0. >> but the pat rays are looking to take advantage. tejada has a two run shot off ted lily. san diego wins 2-1 as the padres regain first place for the first time since saturday. the white sox and the as at

the coliseum. he will always remember this career homerun number one for carter who has gone 4-8 after starting out 0-32. the white sox rallied for two out. a shot to the wall scores the go ahead run. the day after being eliminated in the a-l central, the white sox end the losing streak at 8 with a 4-3 win. 49ers are in need of a win. mike singleterri isn't thrilled at vernon davis guaranteed one. on sunday against the chiefs davis was talking to kansas city on a beat call. hopefully his guarantee turns out better than the one by jonathan sanchez or julian peterson. when the raiders take the field on sunday it will be as bruce bradkowski as quarterback. he switched own against the rams. the result was three scoring drives. oakland's first touchdown of the year. and a 16-14 win. >> i think the thing that stood

out to me, so you get where i'm coming from, is the same people, same day, same defense, same opponent, same people in the huddle with you. didn't change the plan. and yet we were able to go out and move the ball and score some points. so it will go in there and do the job. it's his now. you know, where we go from here, obviously will be decided on how well he plays. >> at least two other teams changing quarterbacks as well. buffalo and pittsburgh. lots more baseball to be played. three with the rockies, and three with the padres so nothing is decided yet. >> so still anybody's to lose or to win, right? >> absolutely. >> this is going to be a fun next couple of weeks here. >> i think so. >> thank you. >> and that is our report for this wednesday night. i'm julie haener. >> and i'm frank somerville. our coverage continues online at ktvu.com. have a good night, everyone. >> good night.
